A young man from Payal , who has
been in San Francisco five weeks , has

Tho Increase In Tholr Consumption
in tho Xiast 'J en Years A
Groat Industry. ,
There aro probably but few persons
who arc aware of the magnitude of
the peanut industry and the increase in
the consumption of that article in the
past ten years. Although to many the
peanut is an extremely "disagreeable
product and an object of aversion , yet
it is safe to say that the majority of
those whose digestive organs are in a
normally healthful state , especially the
younger portion of the race , are fond
of peanuts , and instances could be cit
ed where they aro eaten regularly in
great quantities. Whatever may have
been the origin of the peanut this be
ing a disputed point the peanut plant
has gradually made its way over an ex
tended area of the warmer p.irts of
both the old and new world , and in
North America has gained a perma
nent foothold , in the soil of the south
Atlantic and gulf states. Nor has it
"
yet reached 5ts"ultimate limits , for cul
tivation and. acclimation will inure it
to a sterner climate , untill it becomes
an important crop in latitudes consider
ably further nortli than Virginia.
This is indicated by its rapid speed
within tho past few years. Remaining
long in comparative obscurity , it was *
not untill a recent period that the pea
nut gained prominence an agri
cultural and commercial staple , but
since it fairly started its progress has
been rapid and sure. The peanut will
/thrive on any suitable soil within the
'
limits of the 'United States as far north
as a line extending castwardly from
the northern limits of Iowa to tho
south of the great lakes and thence to
the vicinity of Cape Cod. The cultiva
tion of thexpeanut , in short , is possible
in by far the greater portion of the en
tire country. Any section having a
growing season of live months exempt
from ft-o3t may raise the peanut.
Planted in June , cultivated until Au
gust or a little later , and harvested the
last of September , it can be perfected
in four months , though the Virginian
planter takes live months for it. Any
good calcareous soil that is not too ele
vated will grow the peanut.
Some idea of the magnitude of the
industry may be gained from the fact
that the total consumption of .this
country for the year 1885-6 from Oct ,
1. 1885 , to Oct. 1 , 1886) was 2,715,003
bushels as compared with 1,187,000 for
the year 1875-6 an increase of over 100
per cent in tne last ten years. The
supply available for consumption dur
ing the ensiling year , from Oct. 1.
1886. to Sept. 3U , 1887 , is estimated at
nearly 3,480.000 bushels. Peanuts are
cultivated also in Europe , Asia , and
Africa. Among many of the negro
tribes of' Africa peanuts constitute an
important article of lood. They are
grown in. large quantities for tlie
manufacture of"an essential oil which
is largely used in adulterating olive oil.
Peanut oil is regarded by many equal
in all respects to sweet or olive oil , and
may be employed for every purpose to
which that is applied. A bushel of
neanuts , itjs estimated , will y eld one
gallon of oil.For burning it is highly
esteemed , but the chief consumption of
the oil is in making soap. For the pro
duction of oil for soap makinghere
were imported into Marseilles. France ,
from thewest coast of Africa , in one
year , peanuts to the valun of over live
millions of dollars. The residuum , or
oil-cake , may be sold for cattle-feed.
Almost eveVy person residing in this
locality must nec'essarily know some
thing of the value of roasted peanuts.
One can not pass along the streets cf
any citv without encountering at every
turn the peanutstandswhere roasted
peanuts aro sold by the pint. They
are retailed in numerous stores , are
peddled on the railroad cars , sold to
the loungers in every depot , are eaten
on the streets , at home , in the oflic ,
and , greatly to the annoyance of some
individuals , in public halls. Even
ladies are fond of them and frequently
have them at their parties. Peanuts
are healthful and fatten ng. From a
pig to a school-boy no diet will fatten
sooner than roasted peanuts. A per
son , it is said , can Jive on them alone
for an indefinite period , if eaten regu
larly and with moderation. Wherever
they have been introduced they can
hot well be dispensed with. Peanut
candy is another article in the manu
facture of which tiiey play an import
ant part. The peanut tills a useful end
in peanut coffee. It makes quite a
good and palatable beverage. Even
bread can be made of peanuts. If
first mashed or ground into a pulp and
then worked into the dough in the
process of kneading no lard will be re
quired to make good biscuit , which will
have an agreeable flavor. The skin of
the kernel must first be removed or it
will impart a bitterish and nutty taste.
Good soap can be made from the pea
nut , but whether the manufacture of
such an article would be profitable at
present prices is another question.
For the higher grades of toilet soap it
might be. As feed for stock it is yery
useful. Every kind of stock , horses ,
cows , sheep , hogs , and poultry , are ex
ceedingly fond of the peanut , and will
leave any other food to partake of it.
Cows , horses , and sheep eat the whole
pod , hull , and kernel together. Hogs
and poultry reject the hull , eating the
kernel only. Turkeys , however , as a
rule , swallow the pod whole. All
stoet fatten on them. The hog will
lay on flesh very rapidly on a diet of
peanuts. The peanut vine makes very
good provender for all stock , and most
planters make it an object to save the
vines for hay. The foregoing are the
most importantises of the peanutand
in the course of .time , as new d scover-
ies are made , it is not improbable that
it may subserve other valuable ends.
